Harry Harper Sales & Lettings are proud to present this outstanding architect-designed home within the highly anticipated Thorntons Quarry development. Combining striking contemporary architecture with cutting-edge sustainability credentials, this remarkable four-bedroom residence has been carefully designed to deliver an exceptional standard of modern living.
Built to Passive House principles, this unique home represents the future of residential design. Every aspect has been considered to maximise comfort, minimise energy consumption and create a healthier, more enjoyable living environment. The result is a property that not only looks impressive but performs exceptionally well throughout every season.
Buyers can choose one of the following exclusive incentives, each worth up to £10,000:
£10,000 contribution towards their purchase
A complimentary solar panel package with battery storage (worth £10,000)
Free flooring throughout the property, up to a value of £10,000
As energy efficiency becomes increasingly important for modern homeowners, Thorntons Quarry offers a rare opportunity to acquire a home that has been designed from the ground up with sustainability at its core.
The property benefits from an advanced Air Source Heat Pump, underfloor heating throughout, Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR), superior levels of insulation and high-performance triple glazing. Together, these features work seamlessly to create a consistently comfortable indoor climate while significantly reducing energy costs and environmental impact.
The Passive House approach ensures minimal heat loss, excellent air quality and a quieter internal environment, delivering tangible benefits for homeowners every single day.
A Home Designed Around Modern Family Life
The design creates a sense of individuality and character rarely found in contemporary developments. Each floor has been thoughtfully arranged to maximise natural light, create distinct living zones and provide flexibility for changing family requirements.
At the heart of the property lies the impressive open-plan kitchen and dining area. This bright and welcoming space has been designed for modern living, whether entertaining guests, enjoying family meals or simply relaxing at the end of a busy day.
Large sliding doors and Juliet balconies allow natural light to flood the room while creating a seamless connection between the interior and outdoor spaces. The elevated position enhances the sense of openness and contributes to the home's impressive architectural character.
Bespoke Kitchen Designed Around You
The kitchen is supplied by the renowned Magnet Kitchens, offering both style and functionality in equal measure.
Unlike many new-build developments, purchasers at Thorntons Quarry have the opportunity to personalise key aspects of the kitchen design. Subject to build stage, buyers can participate in dedicated design consultations to select finishes, worktops, cabinetry styles, handles and layout options.
A comprehensive range of integrated appliances is included, ensuring the kitchen is ready to meet the demands of modern living from day one.
This ability to customise allows purchasers to create a kitchen that truly reflects their own tastes and lifestyle requirements.
Flexible Ground Floor Accommodation
The ground floor provides a highly versatile fourth bedroom that can adapt to a variety of needs.
For growing families, it offers excellent guest accommodation. For professionals working remotely, it creates an ideal home office away from the main living areas. Equally, it could be utilised as a gym, hobby room, studio or playroom depending on individual requirements.
A stylish cloakroom is conveniently located on this level, while internal access to the garage provides additional practicality and secure storage.
This flexibility ensures the home can evolve alongside changing lifestyles for many years to come.
A Truly Spectacular Living Room
Ascending to the first floor reveals one of the most impressive features of the entire property.
The dramatic living room has been designed as a statement space. A striking vaulted ceiling creates a wonderful sense of volume and openness, while extensive glazing maximises natural light throughout the day.
The architectural design draws the eye upward, enhancing the feeling of space and creating a memorable focal point within the home.
Direct access to a private balcony allows residents to enjoy elevated views and fresh air while extending the living space outdoors during warmer months.
Whether relaxing with family or entertaining guests, this exceptional room offers a lifestyle experience rarely found in conventional homes.
Generous Bedroom Accommodation
Also located on the first floor are two well-proportioned double bedrooms designed to provide comfortable accommodation for family members and guests.
Both rooms benefit from excellent natural light and offer flexibility for a variety of furniture layouts.
A contemporary family bathroom serves this floor, featuring stylish fittings and modern finishes carefully selected to complement the overall design aesthetic of the home.
An Exclusive Principal Suite
Occupying the entire second floor, the principal bedroom suite offers a private sanctuary separated from the main living accommodation.
This impressive retreat has been designed to provide privacy, comfort and a sense of exclusivity.
The spacious bedroom is complemented by a beautifully appointed en-suite bathroom, creating a luxurious environment for everyday living.
One of the most distinctive architectural features within the property is the unique glazed element overlooking the living space below. This innovative design detail reinforces the contemporary character of the home while creating a visual connection between the various levels.
The result is a principal suite that feels both private and architecturally impressive.
Outdoor Space Designed for Modern Living
Externally, the property continues to impress.
A private garden provides valuable outdoor space for families, entertaining and relaxation. The permeable paved patio has been designed with both practicality and sustainability in mind, creating an attractive setting for outdoor dining and social gatherings.
External power points and water supplies add further convenience, while additional landscaping enhancements may be available depending on the construction stage at the time of reservation.
The elevated position enhances both privacy and outlook, contributing further to the property's appeal.
